Siheyuan: When I became the control group of Qin Huairu

After lunch, Yang Hehua was cleaning up the dishes while Xiao Qian was carrying the toilet to the public toilet outside to empty it.

Since Xiao Qian came, Yang Hehua seldom touched the clothes at home, but she would wash personal items as soon as she washed her body.

This thing is not good to keep overnight, and it is best not to keep it overnight.

After washing the dishes and sitting down to take a breath, Yang Hehua saw Xiao Qian running in from outside in a hurry with a toilet, and closing the door with a red face.

"Qianqian, what's wrong with you?" Yang Hehua was afraid that something might happen to her.

"Sister-in-law, I'm on my period, do you have a clean menstrual pad?"

Xiao Qian's face was so red that blood seemed to drip out, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's.

If Yang Hehua hadn't had sharp ears, she might not have heard this sentence.

Menstrual belt?

Yang Hehua recalled that in their time, when a woman had her period, she could get a menstrual pad with a ticket.

What she received was not the "anti-leakage" sanitary napkin of later generations, but a menstrual belt.

A menstrual belt, also known as a menstrual cloth, is a long belt made of cloth strips. Toilet paper can be placed in the middle of the belt to absorb menstrual blood.

Nowadays, girls from wealthy families put toilet paper (menstrual paper) in the middle of their menstrual belts (Note: a bit similar to the tissue paper used by postpartum women today, but rougher than tissue paper), which is quite comfortable.

Girls from poor families would be taught by their elders how to make menstrual belts by putting wood ash inside them.

Every girl has two or three menstrual belts to change.

However, no matter whether toilet paper or wood ash is placed in the middle of the menstrual belt, it is easy to leak from the side, and blood often flows out while walking.

Moreover, using menstrual belts that have added wood ash is extremely unhygienic.

It makes me numb just thinking about it.

"Qianqian, wait for me, I'll go look for it."

"Okay! Sister-in-law!"

Yang Hehua walked straight into the room, moved a stool and placed it in front of the taller cabinet, then stepped on it.

Seeing that Xiao Qian did not come in, Yang Hehua immersed her consciousness in the farm with peace of mind. She opened the mall and bought three packs of daily use, two packs of night use sanitary napkins, and two packs of 5-pack sleeping pants.

It cost 3 yuan.

3 yuan is still a bit expensive in this era.

But it's worth it.

All these things were packed in a cloth bag. Yang Hehua took a look and saw that there were only a few words "daily use, night use sanitary napkins, and sleeping pants" written on the white packaging bag, and nothing else.

very good!

The farm is a great mall, erasing some of the later stuff.

Yang Hehua carried the things in the cloth bag and brought them to Xiao Qian. She explained in a low voice. Xiao Qian listened with a red face. Finally, she nodded, said a few words, and went into the room with the cloth bag to change.

This was Xiao Qian's first menstruation. If she hadn't felt a pain in her stomach after emptying the feces and urine in the toilet, and hadn't gone to the toilet and found that she was bleeding, she would never have remembered what her adoptive mother had told her before.

Originally, she had a menstrual belt prepared by her adoptive mother, but on the way to Sijiu City, her bag was snatched away, and the menstrual belt in the bag was naturally gone. Then, her period did not come for some time, so she forgot about it.

On the other side, Yang Hehua, knowing that Xiao Qian was having her first period, lit a fire and prepared a bowl of brown sugar eggs for Xiao Qian.

Half of the pot of water boiled. Yang Hehua turned the fire on the stove to a low heat, then put in large pieces of brown sugar, stirring it constantly with a spatula until it was completely melted, then she beat in eight or nine eggs.

When the brown sugar eggs were ready, the greasy sweet smell spread throughout the room. Not only did Xiao Qian, who was washing her pants with hot water with a red face, smell it, but the three children who were originally asleep also smelled it and woke up immediately.

Xiuxiu and Manman helped Xiaobao put on his shoes, and the two of them carried him to the kitchen.

"Mom, it tastes like brown sugar eggs!"

"Egg...Xiaobao...I want it!"

Looking at the eager expressions of the three children, Yang Hehua smiled and said, "That's right, brown sugar eggs, Xiuxiu and Manman, you take your brother to the table and wait for mommy. Mommy will bring it over soon. Remember to ask your aunt to come along!"

"Okay! Mom!"

Xiuxiu and Manman knew there was food, so they immediately divided the work. Xiuxiu took Xiaobao, who was reluctant to leave, to the dining table, while Manman ran into the room and saw her aunt squatting on the floor washing pants. "Aunt, mom said we're going to have brown sugar eggs, and asked me to ask you to come along."

Xiao Qian's pants were soiled by her period, and she hid in the room shyly, rubbing the dirty area. She was mainly afraid that other aunties would laugh at her if she squatted outside to wash.

Hearing Manman coming over, she quickly stuffed the pants that had not been rubbed clean in the basin into the basin and whispered, "Okay! Manman, auntie knows, you guys eat first, auntie will be here soon!"

"Aunt, mom said that we should go together, I will go with you." Manman still remembered what her mother Yang Hehua said and did not leave.

Xiao Qian had no choice but to wash her hands and dry them before going over with Manman.

When I arrived, Yang Hehua had already set the table.

In the bowls of the three little ones, there was only one egg except for Xiaobao, while Xiuxiu and Manman had two eggs.

It’s not that Yang Hehua is partial, but it’s already very good that Xiaobao can finish half a bowl of sugar water and an egg.

Children cannot eat too much. If they have indigestion, it will be difficult to take care of them.

There were three eggs in Xiao Qian's bowl. She glanced around and found that there were only two eggs in her sister-in-law Yang Hehua's bowl. She wanted to take one of the eggs in her bowl, but was rejected by Yang Hehua: "Qian Qian, sister-in-law has some here. Today is your first day, and it's your first time. Drink something hot to warm yourself up. If you have a severe stomachache later, just lie down and rest. Sister-in-law is at home."

As someone who has experienced it, Yang Hehua knows what it's like to have your first menstruation. Especially these days, people don't eat well, and girls' bodies are seriously deficient. When they have their menstruation, some girls will feel excruciating pain and roll on the ground.

Xiao Qian blushed: "Sister-in-law, I feel fine now, but I still feel a little pain."

Xiuxiu and Manman were a little confused when they heard it, so they asked, "Mom, is Auntie sick?"

"Qianqian, you have to listen to your sister-in-law in this regard!" Yang Hehua turned around and said to the three children, "Well, you can't be too attached to your aunt these days. Let your aunt hold you. Also, don't let your aunt touch cold water, understand?"

"understood!"

"Zi...dao!"

Seeing that all three children had answered, Yang Hehua nodded with satisfaction.

Brown sugar eggs. These days, the supply of brown sugar is scarce and you need a ticket. Yang Hehua doesn’t make much.

But since the farm opened the mall function, Yang Hehua has been thinking of ways to improve the lives of her family.
